Feeling the intense gazes around him, Chen Mobai became a bit restless.
"Well, it's quite a coincidence that your class is also here for a farewell dinner."
As soon as he said this, Qing Nv couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's talk after dinner, I'm going upstairs first."
The students from Immortal Gate High School had reserved a private room on the second floor. After greeting Chen Mobai, Qing Nv was about to turn around and go upstairs.
"I have an appointment after dinner, and some other things to do. Let's arrange another time."
However, remembering that he had just made an appointment with Yan Bingxuan to learn the "Ice Art", Chen Mobai quickly declined Qing Nv's invitation to chat after dinner.
This statement stunned everyone present, including Qing Nv. However, she was well aware of Chen Mobai's character. He never had tactful words for things he didn't care much about, so she could only shake her head helplessly.
"Alright, call me when you're free."
Since Chen Mobai had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, the first-grade middle-level Spirit Water was of no use to him. Therefore, Qing Nv had been refining the first-grade high-level one recently. However, due to lack of experience, she failed many times. But she was lucky yesterday and successfully mixed one tube with the help of spiritual essence. She wanted to celebrate at a fish grill with her benefactor.
In fact, she wanted to eat the fish that Chen Mobai brought from the water mansion. The taste was indeed unforgettable.
"Okay, I'll call you in a few days."
Chen Mobai thought that he would be focusing on practicing the Ice Art and honing his fighting skills in the Dream Swamp, or selling things to earn spirit stones. He probably wouldn't have time to return to the water mansion, so he postponed the date.
His dismissive words made Lu Hongsheng, who was sitting next to him, gasp in disbelief. He stared at Chen Mobai as if he was seeing him for the first time, looking incredulously between Qing Nv and Chen Mobai.
Not only him, but also the boys and girls from Immortal Gate High School who came in with Qing Nv. Some of the boys couldn't help but clench their fists, looking coldly at Chen Mobai, who had lowered his head to play with his phone after speaking.
"Qing Nv, is this your friend?"
A handsome boy walked over. He was wearing a white robe and trousers, and his upright posture made him stand out.
"Uh, yes, he is my…"
At this moment, Qing Nv also felt that it was inappropriate to greet him. If she said that Chen Mobai was her benefactor, wouldn't it cause more misunderstandings among her classmates? But if she said he was just a friend, would it make Chen Mobai think she was being too casual?
For a moment, Qing Nv didn't know how to introduce him.
"Well, we are very good friends."
At this time, it was Chen Mobai who spoke up to ease the situation. He put down his phone, raised his head, and looked at the handsome boy.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Gong Xiangyu, and I'm Qing Nv's class president."
As soon as he introduced himself, the classmates around Chen Mobai couldn't help but look at him.
His name was well-known among all the high schools in Danxia City.
He was a super genius who had been consistently ranked first and had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was considered the most likely candidate to enter the Four Great Dao Academies in the past decade.
"Wait, she is Qing Nv!"
However, at this moment, Pu Jiangxue, the beautiful classmate sitting next to Chen Mobai, caught the more crucial name. She widened her eyes, looking incredulously at the stunning girl standing in front of her.
Her shout brought most of the classmates back to their senses!
"Qing Nv? Do you all know her?"
However, not everyone knew the name of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Lu Hongsheng was a bit confused, thinking that everyone in Chen Mobai's girlfriend's class already knew about her.
"Idiot, she is the Heavenly Spiritual Root who got a guaranteed admission to Ju Mang Dao Academy!"
Yu Shu, sitting next to Lu Hongsheng, couldn't help but push him and told him about Qing Nv's background.
The rest of the class who didn't know about Qing Nv all gasped!
They all turned to look at the girl standing in front of Chen Mobai.
"My name is Chen Mobai!"
Since Gong Xiangyu had introduced himself, Chen Mobai also stood up. Under the gaze of all his classmates, the two shook hands.
"I hope to meet you in the entrance exam of the Four Great Dao Academies."
Gong Xiangyu said with a slight sting.
"Oh."
Chen Mobai replied with one word.
Then the two groups went their separate ways.
Qing Nv apologized to Chen Mobai with a bow, then followed her classmates upstairs.
When they left, the remaining people in the class were all in an uproar.
"Damn, Chen, you've been hiding pretty deep!"
Lu Hongsheng was the first to speak, scolding the two for not telling him about their relationship as good friends for three years.
"We're just good friends, nothing more."
Chen Mobai immediately defended himself. His relationship with Qing Nv was indeed just friendship.
Sometimes, people like Lu Hongsheng who stir things up can make a friendly situation awkward. He and Qing Nv got along well in their cooperation, and he didn't want any misunderstandings.
However, no one believed his truth. The classmates around him all looked at him with envy and jealousy. They all thought Chen Mobai was showing off subtly.
So, this farewell dinner began under everyone's envious gaze at Chen Mobai.
In the end, Chen Mobai couldn't stand it anymore. He paid his share to the class president and left early.
"I also have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After Chen Mobai left, Yan Bingxuan also stood up and excused herself.
However, the rest of the class didn't connect her with Chen Mobai. After all, in their minds, Chen Mobai now had Qing Nv, the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and would definitely not provoke other women.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Mobai saw Yan Bingxuan coming out and said apologetically.
"It's okay, I didn't want to attend this kind of event in the first place. It's just that the teacher told me to experience this kind of emotion before going to the Natural Learning Palace. He said it would become a valuable emotional foundation in the future, so I came."
Yan Bingxuan nodded indifferently, pointed to a milk tea shop across the street, and suggested they go there to talk in detail."Let's change the location. If our classmates see us sitting together, there will be more rumors."
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then said something that surprised Yan Bingxuan.
"You're afraid the rumors will reach the ears of that girl with the spiritual root, aren't you?"
"Not at all, you've misunderstood. I'm just worried about tarnishing your reputation."
Chen Mobai joked with a smile, and Yan Bingxuan tilted her head in agreement.
The two left the hot pot restaurant together.
In the private room on the second floor, Gong Xiangyu, who happened to be opening the window, saw this scene. He couldn't help but squeeze out two words through his teeth: "Scumbag."
